Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a protective cover which is attached to an upper end portion of a luggage basket for bicycles and effectively protects a receipt in the luggage basket from being stolen or dropped.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Many commercially available bicycles are equipped with a luggage basket, and by placing a luggage, a bag, etc. in the luggage basket and keeping both hands free, it is possible to ensure safe riding of the bicycle. .

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since the conventional bicycle luggage basket consists of the cage itself and the upper end opening is always open, the bicycle luggage basket was put in the luggage basket while the bicycle was running or at a short time when the bicycle was temporarily stopped. It was often the case that luggage, bags, etc. were stolen, and that luggage that had been raised high from the upper edge of the cargo basket fell from the cargo basket.

The present invention advantageously solves the problems of the prior art, and is a protective cover for a bicycle luggage basket, which can effectively protect the contents stored in the luggage basket from theft, drop, and the like. Is provided.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The protective cover for the bicycle luggage of the present invention is provided with a flexible tubular member that can be made of, for example, cloth or net, and the lower portion of the tubular member has a lower portion of the bicycle luggage basket. An attachment member for tightening and fixing the tubular member on the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion, for example, a string member, an elastic ring, etc., is provided to be inserted, and the upper end portion of the tubular member has an upper end opening of the tubular member. Plural pieces that pass through the string that allows narrowing down and opening, and that engage with the mounting member or the tubular member and the bicycle luggage basket, respectively, to prevent the tubular member from separating from the luggage basket. It is equipped with a hook member. Here, preferably, a retaining ring for maintaining the upper end opening of the tubular member in a narrowed state is attached to the tie string.

[0006]

[Action]

 The protective cover is, for example, a plurality of S-shaped members in a state in which, for example, an elastic ring inserted through the lower end of the tubular member is fitted and elastically engaged with the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the car basket for rotation. One of the hooks can be hooked on the elastic ring and the other hook can be hooked on the cargo basket, respectively, and can be used by restraining the tubular member from separating from the cargo basket. When using it, loosen the lacing cord to open the upper end opening of the tubular member sufficiently large, then put the luggage, bag, etc. in the cargo basket through the upper end opening, and then tie the lacing cord. Pull to squeeze the top opening of the tubular member, and preferably slide the retaining ring over the strap to the top opening position to prevent the strap from loosening.

In this way, under the condition that the upper end opening of the tubular member is sufficiently squeezed, the protective cover prevents the luggage, bag, etc. stored in the car and covered with the protective cover from being pulled out from there. It will be surely blocked, and luggage that has been raised from the cargo basket will be restrained by the cargo basket through the protective cover, so the luggage will be stolen and dropped from the cargo basket. The risk of can be fully eliminated. On the other hand, when the protective cover is not in use, the upper end opening of the tubular member can be narrowed or opened while the tubular member is attached to the cargo basket, and almost the entire tubular member can be dropped into the cargo basket. , Protective covers can be stored without compromising the appearance of the luggage basket.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which a flexible tubular member is made of net. Here, for example, a tubular member 1 having a circumference slightly longer than the maximum circumference of the cargo basket is formed by endlessly sewing a net made of synthetic fibers. Then, a rubber cord 2 for fastening the tubular member 1 to the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the bicycle basket is inserted into the lower end portion of the tubular member 1, and the respective end portions of the rubber cord 2 are connected to each other. The rubber ring will be used.

In addition, a strap 3 is inserted through the upper end of the tubular member 1, and each end portion 3a of the strap 3 is passed through a retaining ring 4 having an appropriate shape. . Here, the material and inner diameter of the retaining ring 4 are selected so that sufficient frictional force can be generated with respect to both end portions 3a of the strap 3. Note that reference numeral 5 in the figure denotes an S-shaped hook for attaching the tubular member 1 to a cargo basket.

To attach such a protective cover to a bicycle luggage basket, first, by fitting the rubber cord 2 and, by extension, the rubber ring into the luggage basket while expanding and deforming the rubber ring, It is elastically engaged with the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the cargo basket, and then the plurality of, for example, 3 to 6 S-shaped hooks 5, which are the upper and lower end portions in the drawing, are respectively attached to the rubber ring and the load. Hang it on each of the baskets to prevent the tubular member from coming off.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the protective cover attached to the cargo basket as described above in a state where the cargo and the like are stored in the cargo basket. With the string 3 sufficiently loosened and the upper end opening of the tubular member 1 being opened, the tubular member 1 is hung down to the outside of the cargo basket 6 as shown in the drawing, so that it can be moved into the cargo basket. It is possible to put in loads or other loads on standby, and there is no risk of the loads being blocked by the protective cover.

After the luggage or the like is stored in the cargo basket 6, the tubular member 1 is set in a posture of being raised toward the opening side of the cargo basket 6, and the upper end opening of the tubular member 1 is positioned above the luggage or the like. By squeezing, the protective cover completely covers bags, luggage, etc., as shown in FIG. Therefore, those bags, luggages, etc. are extremely effectively protected against theft, fall, etc., as described above.

On the other hand, taking out luggage from the luggage basket 6 can be easily performed without being obstructed by the protective cover by loosening the retaining ring 4 and the lacing cord 3 to open the upper end opening of the tubular member 1. It can be carried out.

The present invention has been described above based on the illustrated example. However, the flexible tubular member is made of cloth, and the attachment member that is a rubber string is a non-stretchable band, a string-shaped member, or the like. It is also possible to use the lacing cord as a rubber or other elastic ring that normally narrows the upper end opening of the tubular member.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to effectively protect the load or the like from theft, drop, etc. without obstructing the loading and unloading of the load and the like into and from the bicycle cart.
